Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

BWX Technologies, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 67.5×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 23% a year, against analyst forecasts of 12%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is fragile. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
